The single best thing you can do for your refrigerator is clean the condenser coils twice a year. Add a quick monthly check of the door seals, temperature, and drain, and you will prevent most of the breakdowns we get called for. Here is the full checklist.
Twice a year
- Vacuum the condenser coils (behind or under the fridge)
- Check that it sits level and a few inches off the wall
- Clean the drain pan and defrost drain if accessible
Monthly
- Wipe the door gaskets and check the seal with a dollar bill — it should tug
- Confirm the fridge is near 37°F and the freezer near 0°F
- Replace the water filter every six months
Why it matters
Dirty coils are the number-one cause of a fridge running hot and failing early. A weak door seal makes it run constantly. Ten minutes of maintenance a month beats a $300 repair or a spoiled fridge full of food. If something is already off — warm fridge, constant running, or leaking — have it checked before it gets worse.
